  Description     : static blog utility

It's dead simple.
are big, considerably even over-engineered static HTML site generators.
They use Markdown for generating documents, instead of HTML that sblg
uses.

For an argument against Markdown, see:

Additionally, due to Markdown's syntax limitations, static generated
blogs with `jekyll` or `hugo` might not be able to use HTML description
lists and embed images, or they do with some Markdown extensions or by
embedding HTML into the Markdown source.

sblg has been actively maintained since 2014:

The lowdown utility from the same upstream author is not required for
sblg, but may compliment it to add Markdown translation support.

The upstream's BSD.lv projects include other notable projects (for BSD),
such as acme-client, openrsync and mandoc.
